Requires long-term care facilities to annually review residents' proxy directives.

This bill requires nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and similar long-term care centers in New Jersey to meet with each resident at least once yearly to verify if their existing "proxy directive" (a document naming a person to make decisions if they lose capacity) remains accurate and up-to-date. It directly affects residents of these facilities and the facilities themselves, without mandating that residents create or maintain a proxy directive. The key provision is the annual review meeting, defined by the bill's language, to ensure residents' chosen decision-makers reflect their current wishes. The bill takes immediate effect and does not change existing requirements for residents to have a proxy directive.
